Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.

That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:

• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St

Remarkable success.

Youth sports were supposed to build confidence, character, and community — but somewhere along the way, the system shifted. What used to be about growth and joy has become a marketplace, and our kids are stuck in the middle of it. Today’s youth basketball landscape is overloaded with teams, tournaments, travel, and upsells. And while adults profit from the chaos, kids are carrying the weight.

📊 Research from the Aspen Institute shows that 1 in 3 young athletes now reports symptoms of burnout before high school.
📉 The American Psychological Association notes that youth athletes facing constant pressure are twice as likely to develop anxiety-related issues.
📈 And the American Academy of Pediatrics reports that over 70% of kids walk away from organized sports by age 13 — not because they lose interest, but because the environment becomes overwhelming.

Think about that:
Kids aren’t quitting basketball.
They’re quitting stress.
They’re quitting pressure.
They’re quitting a system that treats them like investments instead of children.

Parents see it too — the mood swings, the tears after games, the dread before practices, the exhaustion from weekend tournaments that require more time and travel than many adults’ jobs.

And it’s not just emotional.

Early specialization — which is pushed harder than ever — is linked to higher rates of overuse injuries, reduced creativity, and shorter athletic careers. Kids are being asked to train like pros before their bodies or minds are ready. But here’s the good news: we can fix this.

When kids experience:
• Reasonable schedules
• Coaches who teach instead of exploit
• Multiple sports or varied movement
• Time for rest and recovery
• Supportive parents who value effort over outcomes
…they thrive. Not just as athletes, but as people.

We don’t need more “elite” labels. We don’t need more pressure disguised as opportunity. We need healthier environments, better leadership, and adults who protect childhood instead of monetizing it.

If we want the next generation to love the game — and stay in the game — we have to create a culture that honors their well-being over everything else.

Our kids deserve a system built around them, not the pockets of the people running it.

“Basketball is not a game of how to, it’s a game of when to.” - Geno Auriemma

That’s gold.

When to pass or shoot. When to cut or hold space. When to help or stay at home. When to go fast or slow. When to roll or pop.

When to > how to

There are no individual skills in basketball. Every skill is an interaction with teammates and defenders.
